Chase had a really bad concussion after Rd1 during Jett’s perfect season and spent several weeks off the bike recovering. Bad concussions take months to fully recover from (see J. Coop this summer). The concussion plus the time off derailed Chase for that season. He was not the same as the year before against Eli. Jett’s perfect season is impressive for many reasons, but the quality of competition is not one of them. His competition was abysmal. He also didn’t have to race the champ, Eli, who was the best MX racer in the world at that time. It’s fair...

You guys see this yet? Their motto is “Built Like It Used To Be” https://reotrucks.com Supposed to be a small truck with minimal fluff. Manual transmission option, N/A 4 cyl, mechanical 4wd, real buttons on the dash, etc. Hope they pull this off. Would be awesome to have a simple little truck on the market again.

I hope SRAM starts charging you a subscription fee to access their preexisting electronic ecosystem. You can always switch to Shimano like the nerds. Just business. It's not entitlement to voice dissatisfaction with a service. Again, you're conflating two positions; paying to access at all, and paying bozos F1tv money for state fair quality. Mx sports doesn't need to monetize coverage to stay in business. And the product itself is largely consumed by the participants, whom are already being fleeced progressively more every year. Supercross or f1 or movies are not analogous Products; this is (or was) a value add...

I dont think so... He isnt from a family with money. In the States i think that he lived with Jcoop and his wife

Shit many of us know more than those people rv,rc, mathes, weege, and more about the bikes. Even though Steve was a mechanic and the others top pros, when you listen to them talk about the technical side of the bikes, they are very low iq in that area. Rv and rc are particularly bad. They talk about the fans like we couldn’t know as much about moto, because of how plugged in they are. They have their areas where they know a lot, sure, but technically, many of them are nobody compared to some on here. They also are...

When the airing of the nationals was all fucked up, the reaction and comments of the "media" tells you all you need to know about the media integrity. Or when the kid claimed Deegan's bike at an amateur national. Or when Millsaps got fired. Or when "Let Broc bye". Or when Emig got fired. Or when RC and Diffey are shitty on a broadcast. It goes on. Many of these people in the "media" know, travel, have meals with, racers, team managers, major sponsors, and the like. For God's sake, Weege and Matthes work for DC. The DC never tells...

I understand Lewis Phillips' frustration with the comments. But I do not understand the reaction, perhaps it is cultural, him being British. Complaints about the performance you are giving are opportunities to improve your performance, they are not complaints against you personally, because obviously these people do not know you. Comments people give may be bullshit but looked at critically they may be a way to hone his craft if looked at insightfully or critically. Unless he feels there is no room for improvement, or that his very audience that listens to him is too ignorant to give input. This...

Big Lew don’t lower yourself to battle with these inbreds. You do some of the best reporting in the sport. Like was just mentioned in the Barcia interview. We made some changes. What kind of changes Nervous chuckle, chassis Ok what kind of chassis stuff? More nervous trying to avoid it but you got him to detail the changes and even bring up the settings AC222 was running. You have a good enough understanding of the bikes and teams and what to ask and where to pry. You got Eli to detail next years plans, his injury more than anyone...

yes every mx journalist is just this fuckin guy

against the best factory bikes... Id say its got some power

"It's the bike" is my new favorite bed bug theory.

Deegan’s Star Racing Yamaha 250 had a bigger performance advantage over the rest of the 250 field than the factory Honda 450 has over Haiden’s 450

Ah, yes, you cracked the code! Thank god you're here to overanalyze the hidden meaning behind a quick post on a message board.

It's shocking, but I don't look at Social Scoop as journalism nor do I think of 'insight' that I can put there. It's a bunch of Insta posts. I'm writing an article where I detail where Justin could go, but it's Ducati, PMG or Kawasaki (if they run three) from my viewpoint. It's no great secret or big deal. I just, again, don't think it's relevant in a feature that's just embedded Insta posts.

Noticing similar comments/posts on social media recently (from the useless, AI bot written re-posting type 'moto journalists') ... and watching the mouth breathers come out of the woodwork. Unbelievable that all of a sudden, the Lawrences are riding and winning the way they are, 'because the HRC 450 is soooo much better than Star's 450!'- it shows how little the average fan knows (or cares to know). Absolutely, Team Lawrence have a great understanding of chassis torque, riding style, and associated bike setup, to maximise efficiency and reduce fatigue in every area, equalling more speed! But this is all part...

The thread was so chill until the 450 race and then grown men decide to go full retard mode. Is this what we have to deal with for the next 6-7 years or so? Holy fuck
